Aaliyah went to the Bahamas for her music video, Rock The Boat. Some parts of the video are in Miami and The Bahamas.
Rock The Boat described as being a sensual and smooth mid tempo song and features an atmospheric groove, hypnotic rhythms and fluctuating instrumentation such as synthesizer effects.
Lyrics:
Work The Middle.
Change Positions
Now Stroke It on Me
I feel I'm on dope
Explore my body
She is the captain of her physical needs in the bedroom and confidently directs the voyage.
On August 22, 2001, Aaliyah was filmed underwater shots for the video in Miami, Florida.
The music video:

The next scene was Aaliyah dancing on a catamaran, on a beach Marsh Harbour and swimming underwater in the ocean. The other scenes include Aaliyah dancing in tide waves that is computer generated imagery.
The video ends with Aaliyah swimming up from the bottom of the pool, almost looking like she's going into the clouds. It's really beautiful.
The video "Rock The Boat" might have easily gone down as just one of many examples of the beloved singer's preternatural cool and low-key sex appeal featuring Aaliyah leading an all female ensemble in understatedly sexy moves mirroring the song's hypnotic, undulating melody.
